"Great phone, recommended" 2009-04-07
By N. Lees (London, UK)
This is a good phone. I regularly change my phones but I've kept hold of this as I like it so much. I've owned a couple of Nokia E series and I would say it may not look as sexy being all plastic, but functionally it is far superior. For a start, bieng a Blackberry it does push email effortlessly so new email is in your inbox on your phone in seconds after it has been sent from a computer. The Nokias etc don't support this, they use POP3/IMAP etc which is slower and a less elegant way of retrieving mail. I think the plastic build is actually a good thing as it makes this phone so small, light and pocketable unlike some of the others which are quite heavy. If you're new to Blackberry the menu system may take a while to get used to, but it isn't user-unfriendly by any means. Browising internet is good enough if you really want to do that on a phone anyway, camera is better than expected with flash, battery life good, call quality good. My recommendation would be don't bother with the GPS version (8110); the GPS takes a while to get connected and going; go for the WiFi version (8120).
"Blackberry at a reasonable size!" 2009-01-29
By AKJ (England)
It is like all the Pearl range, updated from the previous model.
Not as easy as a normal Mobile, but the same as a previous Blackberry, I disagree with other person does not look cheap and tacky, professional look and feel to it
If you want a Blackberry that is smaller that the full keyboard models then choose the Pearl range
NOTE: Read the Sellers comments before buying, (1) You only get a back up guarantee if it is a UK model, many import from Europe, India etc, as they are cheaper there, but if it goes wrong you can only go back to the seller not maker, so choose cheaper at your peril! (2) as this should be black, 1 was selling silver, naughty person, check the colour, if it doesn't say different I'm sure it would be black (There is a silver and pink version of this phone)

Great product, does everything required although it does take a while to get used to the keyboard

The BlackBerry Pearl 8110 is a lightweight handset. Unfortunately it looks and feels cheap and tacky, and for such a handset I'd expect better build quality.
The camera is very good, and camera controls are better than those on other handsets. If you want to use this phone for texting, composing replies with the QWERTY keyboard may be quicker once you've got used to it, but functions such as sending your reply aren't a one button click option like on most other handsets. This can prove to be fiddly and makes life with this handset much more difficult than it need be.
For push e-mail it's great, but unfortunately most people requiring these functions are those who are in business which uses something like Microsoft Exchange for e-mail.
For your typical personal user, this handset is overly-complicated. I also had issues in that the handset would not synchronise with either Windows Vista, XP, or Mac OS X 10.5, and I am far from a technophobe (in fact, I have a very technical background)! I find the Symbian OS far more user friendly and far less sluggish than the BlackBerry, and would suggest for most users that a Nokia N-Series would make a far better all-round handset than a BlackBerry.
Unfortunately my poor experience with this BlackBerry has put me off, to the point where I certainly wouldn't recommend it. This model really does look and feel cheap, and it has too few redeeming features to make it worthwhile owning. Save your money and buy a Nokia N-Series instead (or one of their E phones if you desperately want the BlackBerry e-mail compatibility)!

"beware this seller" 2009-01-31
By Yeovil.Town (UK)
Go Buy 2000 supply their products without any means of identification whatsoever. The brand new product I purchased came with, no means of initiating the warranty period and the authenticity of the product could not be verified. I believe that other sellers products are genuine but Go Buy 2000 supplied a so-called brand new product to me in a re-sealable plastic bag! and not a blister-pack as advertised. They will also tell you that Amazon advise them not to refund postage costs. This is of course a lie. Of course Amazon do not advise their sellers not to refund postage. Judging by the feedback Go Buy 2000 are getting it can only be a matter of time before Amazon suspend their account. If you don't want to be disappointed please use another seller
"my wife loves her pink blackberry!" 2008-11-25
By Mr. G. Loker
The 8110 pearl in pink is a real girly phone.I bought this for my wife and once she had got her head round the qwerty layout of the keys, she actually found texting quicker and easier. Its not an iphone and it hasnt got everything quite right. But as a phone and as a fashion accessory. (lets face it, its pearl pink and looks great!) Its a winner.
"Everything you need to know" 2008-09-28
By Carolyn J. Walton (cheshire)
Well what can i say,
i have had the Pink Blackberry pearl for almost 6 months now and its a good phone for girlie girls. it gets alot of attention if your walking around or on the train.
i know when i was thinking of getting this phone i searched everywhere for reviews on it and comments on whether it was worth it, i couldnt find ANY that really helpted, so i want to spread a little knowledge.
what you get:
okay when you get the phone it will come in a box, mine was blue but that depends on where you buy it from,
inside the box will be, your Pink Blackberry Pearl,a charger,ear phones,usb connector(to attached to the pc)a case so it doesnt get scratched,two manuals and a cd to download the software(also for pc)
pros:
this phone has so many pros!
firstly the design is gorgeous. the pink is not too overwhelming.. like the name its a pearl like colour.
its extreamly light,very easy to forget its in your bag or coat pocket.
full qwerty keyboard with a special rolling mouse like button at the top to scroll through your menus.
it has superb games, so if your waiting for a friend or nothings on tv, just sit and play with it.
everything is pretty easy to use, when you switch it on it does take a few minutes to fully load so dont panic if its still showing that little hourglass 10 minutes in, that doesnt happen all the time!
it also starts off with a litte demo that will walk you through things, which i have to admit i thought i didnt need but it really does help!
you can use any earphones you want too!it has a voice recorder,video camera and a nice music player.i love the alarm because it goes off perfectly.you can hold many songs by itself but i reccomend buying a SD micro card(if your not sure which get the sandisk Micro SD HC) if your not sure about that any phone shop will understand!
cons:
well this phone may have lots of pros,but even the smallest of cons can make it harder to live with.
the camera is okay but quite dissapointing for a phone this up to date, i think its 1.5gb.
also i found after 2 hours of me having it the phone froze on phonebook and i couldnt go on it! but if that happens to you, then go to settings and change your details to GPS!
It only has one theme downloaded onto it so if you want to have more than you will have to buy contract and have internet connections, which is not an option for me.
it can also be difficult putting the micro card in!
all in all i do love this phone! all my cons have bin fixed so if you want this phone so much, get it and deal with it when the time comes because for the end result its an all round wonderful life long friend!
its great for work and pleasure!
the phone is defanetly 97% perfect, but im fussy :)
have fun with it and remeber if you need help email me..x
